Norway Spiral missile identification (please note that this is not a discussion on aliens, HAARP, me

The Norway Spiral has been labeled as a malfunctioning missile. I have heard various valid sounding explanations about how this is possible, but I myself have never seen or heard of this effect occurring in the same magnitude or even with the same colors as the norway spiral.

I am curious as to whether or not there are any other "malfunctioning missile tests" which resulted in the same (or very similar) effect, and I am hoping the trusty weaponry forum can verify that they have personally seen the effect in a failed missile launch before, or if there are other videos of the same effect occurring due to a KNOWN missile launch, rather than one where no party claims they were testing missiles, and all parties accused deny that they were.

I think that another example of this phenomenon occurring in a non controversial and obvious fashion (known missile launch that people are watching fails and the same effect occurred) would be really useful to my general knowledge, so that if I ever see such a thing in the future I know what it is.

Thanks for your time.

There have been several times in the past when such incidents have occurred, although none have appeared as bright and as prominent as this incident. I would suggest sending an email to the guy that runs the atmospheric optics website. He actually said it was a failed missile launch before anyone had a theory (I posted on page two or three of the original thread), and is pretty much a guru when it comes to these things

Hey thank you for the quick response, I'll try to find that atmospheric topic and the original topic for the norway spiral on ATS, but if you see this post and have either easily available to you please post em up, I promise to do my own diligence though.

I will gladly accept a "less intense" version of a similar event as a verification, all I need to see for my own eyes is another example of something with a similar duration/spin velocity with the same coloration in the sky, it will greatly help me deny ignorance in the future!

To verify, is this the correct atmospheric optics website?
www.atoptics.co.uk...

The Vandenburg rocket videos on youtube are pretty crazy looking. I'm not very knowledgable on this topic but it's not something I would have expected to come from a rocket. So maybe the Norway spiral was created by a rocket.

I don't buy the missile story

One other possibility could be some kind of beam from space that gets bend and colored by the atmosphere Just like a prism or water surface does with light.

I made a little example (disclaimer: i did use an approx. location)



Edit some problem seems to occure..
